Riddle From The Inquest




Riddle From The Inquest

The inquest is repression

leading to a muzzle

The answer is confession leading to a puzzle

The inquest is blistery

leading to an upsurge

The answer is mystery leading to a resurge

The inquest is risky jink

leading to a wrangle

The answer is interlink leading to a tangle

The inquest is snickery

leading to derision

The answer is trickery leading to revision

The inquest is dilemma

leading to an impasse

The answer is enigma leading to a morass

The inquest is misbecome

leading to a fiddle

The answer is conundrum leading to a riddle

The inquest is bully force

leading to a humbug

The answer is low course leading to an unplug
